RE: [cobalt-users] IP blocks

You may want to partner with an ISP  or high speed provider (ie DSL). Out
company partnered with a DSL provider. We make referrals and get
commissions. They also give us unlimited IP addresses for web hosting and we
use their DNS servers free of charge. Just a thought.

Subject: [cobalt-users] IP blocks


A little off subject, but perhaps useful to other newbies....

My provider is telling me that for every IP block
I purchase (they call a "block" 16 ip addresses)
I have to keep 2 of them as "non-use" IPs... I asked
why, and got this response:

"In order to do subneting you need an IP for Broadcast and an IP for
Internal Networking. Even if you would purchase an entire `class c'
you would lose 2 ip addresses.  It is my understanding that every block
requires this type of procedure. Otherwise, the IP's wont be visable."

This sounds like a steamy pile of BS to me, but I really don't know...
is there anyone on this list that can enlighten me?  Thanks so much.
